Our Hymn of Hope Scottish Charity No. SCOO7072 No. Scottish Charity Our Hymn of Hope & (Tune: Hosanna, loud Hosanna!) e We’re looking for a Minister of Sacrament and Word; Denny Westpark One who’ll dearly love us, one who clearly loves the Lord. You’ll need a sense of humour and the meekness of a lamb, The patience of a donkey when with Harry, Dot or Tam! The hide of a rhinoceros would come in handy too When people are insistent that you hear their point of view. You’ll work like any beaver, you’ll be stronger than an ox, And you’ll listen with attention to the one who talks and talks. You’ll work with other churches that make up Falkirk West, We’re all in this together and we must do our best to care for one another and promote real unity within the Church of Jesus and the whole community. When it comes to preaching, we know you’ll do your bit; to comfort or to challenge, just as you see fit. People will respond to you, their comments will be many; And rest assured your sermon will be talked about in Denny. So what have we to offer? we thought you’d never ask. The pages of this profile describe our mammoth task. We need YOU to help us - man? woman? - we’re not fussed! We will pledge our loyalty, our love and mutual trust! www.westparkchurch.btck.co.uk Clerk: Etta Eadie t: 01324 823 962 IM: Rev Phyllis Wilson e: [email protected] t: 01324 832 257 e: [email protected] Overview of Denny “Denny is not the bonniest of places at the moment.

  • FORTH, CLYDE and UNION CANALS Notes on Multi-Use Access
    FORTH, CLYDE AND UNION CANALS Notes on multi-use access The Forth and Clyde Canal stretches 35 miles between Bowling, on the Clyde west of Glasgow, and the Forth estuary east of Falkirk, linking directly via the Union Canal to Edinburgh. Walkers and cyclists may now be a more common sight than the horses for whom the towpaths were originally created, and riding a horse alongside the canal may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act, horse-riders enjoy equal access rights to other non-motorised access takers. Most of the former barriers along the towpath have been removed or modified to allow multi-use access, although there are a few places where the passable width is very narrow, or where steps have been installed to divert around obstructions in the line of the towpath may not be passable with a horse. These notes have been produced by British Horse Society Scotland to help identify location and brief details of features which may influence multi-use of the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals. The notes are intended to supplement information already available from other sources, including detailed route guides, http://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/our-canals/forth-- clyde-canal and other relevant websites. The background information for these notes was provided by volunteers who surveyed the route in 2014 as part of a multi-use long distance route audit funded by Scottish Natural Heritage. BHS will endeavour to update notes as and when notification of subsequent changes is received, but cannot guarantee accessibility or the accuracy of information provided.

This deposit is a selection made from the archives of Russel and Aitken in Falkirk. It consists of material gathered by the firm while acting as executors, trustees, or liquidators in the course of its normal legal business, and of material brought together by James Russel sen, (1787-1858), James Russel jun (d.1860), and Henry Aitken (d.ca.1900), partners in the firm, in connection with their various mining and industrial undertakings. In the former category the papers relating to the Falkirk Gas Co and its successors, the Stirlingshire Midland Junction Railway, and the whaler ‘Juno’ are the most important, while in the latter the large series of bore journals and mine plans give a clear view of the geological knowledge of central Scotland (particularly of the south of West Lothian) in the mid 19th century. Also included are miscellaneous early charters, several business account books, and the papers of Dr John Aitken FRS, the meteorologist. The general arrangement is as follows: 1. Bore journals of Henry Aitken of Darroch (ca.1860-80), numbered series: 1. Armadale and others, including Polkemmet, Bridgecastle, and Hilderston (with some discussion of the silver deposits there).
